Her kind personality is explained to be due to the positive approach from her parents and the residents of the town, which she was given an advantage to, due to the role her father had in the society. Her benevolence is for example shown during one occasion when there was a frog dissection at her school; Ana's concern for the frogs did as a result lead to her subconsciously freeing them, implied to be through the use of PSI.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref> She and [[Ninten]] are the only human characters in the game who are able to use [[PSI]], though Ana possesses a larger quantity of moves and is also the only one that is able to utilize offensive PSI attacks; although her [[Status#Offense|Offense]]- and [[Status#Defense|Defense]] stats are worse than any of the other party members. One negative property that is mentioned concerning Ana is her lack of courage.<ref>"My daughter, Ana has never been a brave girl, but, she is kind of heart, and has a secret strength." - Ana's father</ref> | ||

Ana was born on the day before Christmas Eve, being on the 23th of December, during a snowy night at the church of [[Snowman]] (being a chateau in the English prototype). Ana's father, being the pastor of the town, had earlier informed the residents of the town that he would ring the church bell once if the baby that was expected to be born was a boy and twice if it was a girl. The bell rang twice, and gossips concerning the birth occurred among the townspeople the next morning. Ana quickly became popular amongst the denizens due to her honest and kind nature, and it didn't take long until she was regarded as the pride of the town. She got the nickname "Little Mother" by the young children of the town when she managed to reach the higher grades in school. She would occasionally teach songs to the children that only were a little younger than her, and read from "The Prince of Stars"<!--『ほしのおうじさま』のほん-->, being a favorite book of hers, for them when gathering for sunday school at church.<ref>[http://kenisu.webs.com/motherencyclopedia.htm MOTHER Encyclopedia - The Suburbs of kenisu's Magicant]</ref> | |||
During the events of {{vg|Mother}}, her mother has gone missing, so she resides with her father in the [[Snowman Chateau]]. When spoken to by [[Ninten]] for the first time, she recognizes him from a dream she recently had. When Ninten returns her [[List of key items in Mother#Hat|hat]] to her, she asks him if his name is Ninten and thereafter mentions that her mother is missing and that she needs his help finding her, suggesting that they should go to [[Youngtown]] as their first destination. She vows to her father that she will eventually return with her mother, and then joins Ninten's and [[Lloyd]]'s party, equipped with her newly retrieved hat. | |||
Instead of going to Youngtown, the party travels to [[Spookane]], a town which have been infested by various harmful creatures. They obtain a [[List of key items in Mother#Ghost House Key|key]] from a female resident, which gains access to her [[Rosemary's house|house]], being infamous for the ghost-like beings that inhabit it. Inside of the house, the party discovers a piano that plays a tune by itself, being the [[Eight Melodies|fourth melody]] that Ninten comes across in his search after [[Eight Melodies|eight specific melodies]]. | |||
After | The party heads off to [[Union Station]] by train, where they continue on to [[Yucca Desert]] on foot. In the desert, the party happens upon a cactus that possesses some facial traits; when using [[Telepathy]] on the cactus, it will sing the [[Eight Melodies|fifth melody]], which the party memorizes. After purchasing ten [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket Stub|ticket stubs]] from a man in the desert, the party is rewarded with his tank. While navigating the tank, the trio encounters a [[R7037|giant robot]] at the entrance of a [[Ruins of Desert|ruin]]. Protected inside the tank, they manage to defeat the robot, although the tank is destroyed in the process. After walking through the labyrinth-like ruins, the party reaches a cave inhabited by a strange, pink object that teleports them to [[Magicant]]. | ||
They head off to the [[Magicant Underground]] in the eastern portion of the land, where they meet a [[dragon]], whom they are engaged in a battle with. After defeat, the dragon croons a tune, being the [[Eight Melodies|sixth melody]] that is memorized by the party. The trio exits the underground and is teleported to a cave nearby [[Youngtown]]. In Youngtown, nearly all the grown-ups have disappeared, leaving all the children in fear and panic. After Ana and [[Ninten]] learn [[Teleport]] by a [[Garrickson baby|toddler]] in the town, the party continues to the [[swamp]] to the east. | |||
After traveling across the swamp, they reach [[Ellay]], a city notorious for the criminal [[Bla-Bla Gang]], whose members roam around the city while displaying hostile behavior. The party goes into the [[Live House]] after purchasing a [[List of key items in Mother#Ticket|ticket]], where they get to perform onstage. Once the performance is over, they are confronted by the leader of the Bla-Bla Gang, [[Teddy]], who accuses them of beating up on his gang members, followed by a battle between him and the party. Teddy quickly ends the battle however, and does instead ask them to help him avenge the death of his parents. He takes [[Lloyd]]'s place, thinking of him as weak, and then the party heads off to [[Mt. Itoi]], being the location where his parents died. | |||
After having progressed up the mountain for a while, the party finds a house, inhabited by a healer, who heals he entire party without any cost. Teddy temporarily leaves Ana and Ninten to themselves, as he has a few phone calls to make. In a separate room of the house, Ana confesses her romantic feelings for Ninten, and the two of them dance with each other. They are however interrupted by Teddy, who says that it is time for them to leave. They are subsequently attacked by another [[R7038|giant robot]], who easily defeats them all. Everyone is saved by [[Lloyd]] who shows up in a tank, and transports them all to a house at the base of Mt. Itoi, where they are treated by a doctor. Teddy did unfortunately suffer more grave injuries from the attack and cannot continue to travel with Ana and Ninten, and is instead replaced by Lloyd. | |||
The party travels up the mountain once again, and does this time find a lake, with an accessible boat nearby. They embark the boat, and are before not too long sucked into a hidden building at the bottom of the lake. It is the residence to a robot named [[Eve]], who, when spoken to, says that its purpose is to protect the three of them. The building then collapses, and all of them end up on the shore of the lake. The party goes further up the mountain, until they suddenly get attacked by a third [[R7038XX|gigantic robot]]. The robot manages to defeat Eve, but does also get destroyed due to the explosion caused by Eve's death. | |||
Near the highest accessible point of the mountain, the party comes across a tombstone. When they approach it, a crystal appears in front of them, and does after a short speech reveal the [[Eight Melodies|eighth melody]], followed by it making a disappearance. With all of the eight melodies retrieved, the party heads off to [[Magicant]]. They show the melodies they have learned to [[Queen Mary]], being the person who requested Ninten to gather all the melodies. After hearing the song, she remembers it and starts to sing it herself. Queen Mary also retrieves her memory thanks to the song, and Magicant is then revealed to be an illusion caused by the consciousness of Ninten's [[Maria|great-grandmother]]. The entirety of Magicant disappears, all that is left being a barren wasteland, and the party are automatically teleported back to the tombstone they found earlier. | |||
They enter a nearby cave, and find that a portion of the cave is filled with humans trapped in capsule-shaped objects. One person who is trapped recognizes Ana and says that her mother is trapped in a room further back. The party walks into a deeper segment of the cave, and enters a portion of it where an ascending ship appears in front of them. [[Giegue]], the creature who have caused the various ominous occurrences throughout the party's journey, is revealed to be inside of it, and is engaged in a battle with the party. The trio manages to defeat Giegue thanks to the song they have recently learned, and Giegue disappears toward the sky. | |||
After having successfully gotten rid of Giegue, Ana is reunited with her mother, as the party saves all the people that were trapped inside of the capsules. Ana can later be seen taking farewell of [[Ninten]] and [[Lloyd]], before entering her [[Snowman Chateau|chateau]]. In another segment, she reads a letter that she has received from Ninten, where she hopes that they will meet each other again soon. | |||
